The day the Earth didn’t stand still

I haven’t felt like this since the Berlin Wall went down in 1989. But even back then, there were signs that something massive was afoot, judging from the fissures running the entire length of the Iron Curtain. When that bell tolled, I was still disbelieving. The wall had been with me since childhood, since I’d begun considering the world at large, and in my mind, that sprawling bloody divide was as intractable as a mountain range. Tuning in to its dismantling was like watching the Grand Canyon dissolve in a time-lapse blur.

On Saturday, just nine shopping days before Christmas, shortly after noon, I logged on to discover the Earth had shifted again. Only, this time, there was no warning. Yeah, there was that To The Stars Academy video presentation thing back in October, with an impressive cast of insiders issuing brief statements about their knowledge of and/or interest in UFO activity, and their intentions of bringing sobriety to the controversy. But they presented no evidence. And over the decades, we’ve seen plenty of other bright, informed people stepping forward to lend true skepticism to the stalemate, only to fade away due to a lack of media oxygen. Furthermore, if a breakthrough was going to happen, it was primed for a Hillary Clinton administration, but certainly not under what we’re dealing with now.

It’s been more than a year since Clinton and campaign manager John Podesta tried – and failed – to turn The Great Taboo into a campaign talking point. Not one major mainstream media wheel bothered to take the bait and ask what they meant, or why neither feared losing credibility or political capital by confronting this historically toxic issue. Trump came to town instead. And competence in virtually every department proceeded to fall apart immediately. Who wants to talk UFOs now?

Yet, there it was, suddenly, in the dead-news zone of a Saturday afternoon, The New York Times and Politico, lighting up the Internet with a one-two punch about a hidden, $22 million, Pentagon special access program (SAP) instigated by three powerful veteran U.S. Senators, exposed by a whistleblower attached to something called the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, and accompanied by authentic government footage of an F-18 jet fighter giving chase to what appears to be an axis-tilting, heat-emitting UFO at 25,000 feet, complete with cockpit chatter.

Finally. After half a century of worthless press releases and a mullet wrapper called Project Blue Book, the Pentagon owns up. Extraordinary – a highly compartmented SAP that makes uninformed Defense Department PIOs look like liars or stupid, and guaranteed to reinvigorate the most sensationalist paranoid conspiracy mongers. But it does in fact beg many questions: How many other related SAPs are researching this stuff? And how much more gun-cam footage exists? For starters.

Equally extraordinary is that the Times – huzzahs to Leslie Kean – bothered to show up and play it straight. The Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) thermal imaging acquired by the Navy Hornet is the same technology employed by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol when it videoed an equally freaky UFO as it hurtled through the night sky over Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, in 2013. That thing not only sliced into the water, it split into two separate flying objects after reemerging. The sequence hit the Internet shortly thereafter, and the provenance of the footage was established several years ago, but the media ignored it. The same way it ignored a radar-record analysis confirming eyewitness reports of F-16s checking out a UFO that beelined for the no-fly zone over President Bush’s ranch in Crawford in 2008.

The big difference this time around, of course, is the willingness of a former intelligence officer and DoD Aerial Threat analyst named Luis Elizondo to man up and risk the consequences of going public. That’s huge. It also helps to have a “donor class” bigwig, i.e., Las Vegas hotel magnate Bob Bigelow, offering cover for the research. When it comes to UFOs, Bigelow and his data collection project – to which the Federal Aviation Administration has deferred all public inquiries about “flying saucer” encounters – have been operating in plain sight forever. In 2010, for instance, Bigelow told the NY Times that “people have been hurt [by UFOs]. People have been killed.” But the Times reporter never asked WTF? As recently as May, the man who wants to put tourists in space reiterated his belief to “60 Minutes” that ETs have been and are continuing to visit our planet.

Salon.com – one of the many news platforms to follow the leader after the story broke – pointed out that the $22 million used to finance Elizondo’s SAP amounts to less than 0.004 percent of the U.S. budget. Still, taxpayers are going to want to know what $22 million buys in the UFO arena these days, especially since that funding went to Bigelow Aerospace. And that’s where, according to the Times, we can presumably find “metal alloys and other materials that Mr. Elizondo and program contractors said had been recovered from unidentified aerial phenomena.” Since taxpayers paid for it, we deserve to see it.

Where we go from here depends on major-media stamina. Much of the followup coverage of this weekend’s bombshell was predictable. There were the usual “truth is out there” clichés, blatant mistakes (one even said the Pentagon spent $22M a year during the program’s official run from 2007-2012), and a few knuckle-headed takeaways. One of the dumbest and sadly typical offenders, The New York Post, weighed in with a “We’re Not ‘A Loan’” banner and a subhead that read “Pentagon spent $22M to study alien ‘visits.’” The piece is illustrated with a mug shot of a little green man, along with a photo from the 1985 “Cocoon” movie with a caption that reads “Far Out!” Where are these dingbats drawing their inspiration? Putin? This is the sort of lame detritus likely to prevail unless the Fourth Estate gives this story the sort of attention it deserves.

Regardless of what happens next, however, the foundations of this debate have changed. This is not something the DoD can jam back into the bottle, at least not without some major explaining, which it hasn’t had to do since boarding up Blue Book in 1969-70.

For generations, in the face of accumulating evidence to the contrary, American taxpayers have been patronized by glib Authorities & Experts assuring us that nothing beyond our control is unfolding in our atmosphere. The media have been complicit housecats. But that all went sideways in the blink of a single news cycle. With any luck, what happened on Saturday afternoon should be the beginning of an overdue accounting on the limits of even our most advanced technologies. It’s time we face our future honestly, and start acting like adults.

Obviously some people are crazy gullible. There was no new information released, they have no Alien ship wreckage and a bunch of retired military UFO buffs are hardly proof of anything. This is the UFO communities version of Ground Hog Day. The military, or in this case a former military analyst releases military pilot footage ( where the pilot states its a drone), the he press pick it up for a week, and the UFO/disclosure rubes lose their minds thinking of taking something real. By February, this will all be a faint memory

Who are the “he” press?
Are you inferring that the commentators on this thread are crazy rubes and gullible?
Will you feel the same way If there is more subsequent and relevant information released that disproves your “drone” theory?
Are you here on this thread because you are hardwired in your beliefs or maybe, just maybe, because you are fearful of a new paradigm that would disrupt your views of the world and universe?
or
could it be that you are just an immature troll posting from mom’s basement?

Thank you Bill! I am still out there looking for the right star to guide me and I remain hopeful. Thank you, too, Larry! Your post was also very supportive. We are all in this together. Let us move forward…the Truth is out there!
Everyone, have a happy and safe Holiday season. Hug the ones you care deeply about and tell them that you love them!

Does anyone find it a little strange that Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt (Statist of the decade) suddenly stepped down this Monday with no warning right after the NY Times article hit last weekend?

Keeping in mind everything that Google has done to contribute to the great taboo at the behest of the deep state, it just makes me wonder if the little weasel freaked out when he realized that he’d been had.

An update from Leslie Kean FB pagehttps://www.facebook.com/lesliekean
Retired Senator Reid officially/unofficially confirmed to George Knapp, Las Vegas reporter, that UFOs have occasionally hovered over nuclear bases for years even though this was previously been denied by the top ranks in the military brass. I would imagine that Robert Hastings must feel very gratified and vindicated ….especially since there was one particular adversary who continuously lambasted him on line in several forums
BTW- Ufohastings is currently closed to visitors either due to traffic or for other reasons.

How nice of Harry Reid to wait until he retired to suddenly become Mr. UFO disclosure guy. If all of this was so important to him then why didn’t he do this while he was still an extremely influential US Senator?

Something tells me that there’s a giant you know what hiding in that woodpile.

Thank you Larry and Dr. Burke for your fine assessments! There is intelligent life on Planet Earth.
Bill Pilgrim…thank you, too. I don’t mind the put-downs and insults. It is not that I thought you were a Delonghe groupie or a Trumpster. I apologize if I came off in a snarky manner. I have put so much into disclosure/Disclosure, including, yes, risking my life trying to get on UFO’s (at the request of Edgar Mitchell). Hell, I was almost killed by a moose one night in the field…ha!
Yes, I happen to also have the Geller effect. I am not asking you to believe it or not, as I don’t even know who you are, either. Let’s all try to keep an open mind here. I was just trying to say that my contacts said that Donald Trump was the one who gave the final say. Yes, this has been planned all along.
Look at Wiki leaks, look at Podesta, look at Hillary Clinton. Would it also madden you to know that the Russians vetted me and sent the FSB to ask me why Hillary Clinton was talking about UFO’s in Conway, N.H. ?
Yes, the Russians and Chinese have always been in on the ET cover-up. I know that personally. Oh you say, Bill, I must be psychotic. Okay, whatever. Please do not feel sorry for me because my provenance and my degrees were hard won. No one gave them to me. I have worked diligently and assiduously in my fields of endeavor(s).
Please, let us work together and stop the “put-downs”. That is what makes you sound like a CIA/NSA insider, Bill. I understand your frustrations. I get it. REALLY! Otherwise, I would not be working with a host of stakeholders on the UFO disclosure/Disclosure issue.
Ask Bob Bigelow what is up? I do not begrudge Bob one bit. I, quite frankly, admire his strength, courage and wisdom tremendously.

Robert Todd in the post-Project Blue Book 1970s submitted a number of FOIA request to Naval Intelligence always with “no files exist” answers. Finally he asked a number of questions. Question which the FOIA officer was under no obligation to answer, but he did. Naval Intelligence was not interested in UFOs, but if one was reported they did send the report to the Air Force which was. One hint. Hint number two. Hynek had a post-Project Blue Book contract with the Air Force. We don’t know what it involved. He did not talk to anyone about it. http://www.project1947.com/hynek/index.htm
Maybe now we can find out!

This is obviously purposeful partial disclosure that has been approved by the Pentagon and more importantly TPTB that really give the super-lifer Statists within the Pentagon their marching orders.

But in my opinion trying to discern which factions do or do not want disclosure is an unnecessary diversion and distraction. The reason I say that is because now the horse is out of the MSM barn courtesy of the NY Times, which is also getting their marching orders from the same people as the Pentagon.

It’s also patently obvious that this was going to happen regardless of who ended up being elected President. Likewise it is now very clear why Hillary was going out of her way to bring up UFO’s, UAP’s, while she was running for office. OBVIOUSLY she knew this was coming, folks! What she didn’t know was that she was going lose and the same applies to the insiders who told Hillary this was coming.

But Donny boy and Hillary are both malignant narcissists with severe NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) who in reality could care less about anything other than themselves. Therefore all that matters to either one of them every waking moment of their lives is, “What’s in it for me?”. That makes both of them very controllable and that’s all that really mattered to the “terrestrial ruling elites”.

As a result, the real puppet masters knew they could pull this disclosure trigger regardless of which self-serving POS got elected. The only potential wild card was Bernie Sanders. But they just let Hillary and the DNC take care of their potential Bernie problem.

The upshot is forget about Trump. Because it’s highly doubtful that they even gave him a heads up because they already own him. So what really matters is what are the puppet masters trying to achieve with this revelation beyond this initial soft disclosure?

Bob, I understand why you and others are worried about a Project Bluebeam type of tack as it is probably an option. But they always make sure that they have a Plan A, B, C, D, etc. So all I think you can do at this point is pay very close attention by never forgetting to follow the money as this unfolds over time. Money still equals control here in the terrestrial realm. The good news is it’s easy to follow.

With money and control in mind it will be very interesting to watch how Putin and Xi Jinping overtly react or don’t react to this news. I say “overtly”, because none of what was revealed in the NY TImes article was news to either one of them. Bad Vlad and Xi are infinitely more important than Tom DeLonghe and company as this plays out over time. TD is just an errand boy who was selected primarily to get the large ego’s in the “UFO community” fighting amongst themselves. Yet another diversionary distraction.

Yep, we definitely live in interesting times, and these times just got a lot more interesting.

If the video reportedly released by the US military and covered by the New York Times is accurate, then it is of great significance. What has been called a de facto truth embargo is being opposed by groups within the Executive Branch of the government including I suspect the POTUS. Rather than full disclosure that many UFO fans crave, we have a series of leaks that hopefully will set the stage for a general societal discussion of the reality of UAPs and their tremendous importance for Earth civilization. In my judgment for many decades there has been an ongoing struggle within sectors of the what has been called the military-intelligence-entertainment industrial complex with small well-organized factions helping people like Bill Moore, Dr. Greer and now Tom Delonge.
It should be interesting to see how the MSM will continue to respond to this latest release. For decades they have been unwilling to cover this subject adequately because in my view the overwhelming majority of terrestrial ruling elites are still fundamentally opposed to full disclosure which would likely be destabilizing to their hegemony. I’ve heard that the Chinese have a saying. “May you live in interesting times!” I am told that these words are a form of curse. Damned or not, disclosure and contact activists will continue their grass-roots efforts to build support for more openness on this subject. My guess is that this process will unfold over decades, if not generations. Nevertheless, what an exciting experience it is to be alive during “interesting times.”

Sorry in advance for being redundant, but this is taking a while to really sink in.

So Bigelow Aerospace has buildings in Las Vegas that contain “metal alloys and other materials that Mr. Elizondo and program contractors said had been recovered from unidentified aerial phenomena”.

The very fact that they are allowing that information to be revealed in the NY Times is a game changer of epic proportions. How in the hell does the scientific “establishment” respond to that revelation? I’m going to have to go buy a case of Orville Redenbacher to ingest while watching that show.

Then you throw in the “what was considered science fiction is now science fact” statement from a 2009 Pentagon briefing into the mix and the mindfu*# factor for the pseudo-skeptic materialists like Oberg is off the charts.

I’ve got a visual of liquefied gray matter pouring out of their ears before their heads explode.

Yet at the same time, my gut tells me this is a major set-up of some sort. But for what?

It’s the details that reveal how and why things happen…
People are touting the Pentagon program as being secret, but obviously it wasn’t so secret that its actual existence was a secret, otherwise Elizondo would have prosecuted.
There had to be some form of reporting procedure in place for information to flow from various locations into the program.

Alehandro, in the article above, states that not all the partners in TTSA agree with Tom’s ideas, so who are the panel of experts that evaluated the videos?

It’s heartening to read of a former insider revealing the existence of a (modern) program to monitor potential aerial threats, but if its budget was cut despite the significance of evidence of UAP obtained, then doesn’t that information need to be made public? Such information would seemingly be relevant to the world and not just the U.S.

If Tom’s interpretation of the information he’s received, isn’t shared by everyone, then how do we know the information known to Luis Elizondo is as good as is claimed?

TTSA still has a long way to go to redress the balance between hype and evidence.

@Don: Great questions all. Money leaves trails of paperwork. And now that the Times has given the Fourth Estate permission to cover UFOs, there’s no reason to suspect there won’t be a lot of hounds on the scent. Given the reader traffic that blew up on the Times’ reporting, you can bet your ass that management is paying attention to those metrics.

Hi Don,
Great to see your post and questions/concerns, Don. Yes, let us be careful. I spoke with some of the parties this afternoon. I am cautiously optimistic. More will definitely be revealed. Let us hope that my friends and I are not being played. The pieces are fitting together, for better or worse.
Don, thank you for your recent two books on Roswell. We know each other, and are mutual friends with Cheryll. As you, Edgar Mitchell and I know, as well as the late Jesse Marcel, Roswell was an extraterrestrial incident, regardless what Tom deLonghe may “think”, ie. that Roswell was a German secret experiment. Sorry, kiddo, but Wernher von Braun WAS there, but only to inspect the ET wreckage.
Pull Tom back guys, because he is dumping speculation and disinfo into the recipe. He is creating TOO much noise! Thanks.

Pardon me, but there’s a bit of insider action happening here that feels like a pseudo-SAP.
I know anonymity is given…if desired. But, with respect, “Bob,” how shall I (and perhaps a few others) take your information and name dropping and experiential references seriously without knowing your provenance and credentials?
I’m familiar with several UFO investigators, researchers and authors who are named Robert.
Will you fess-up?
Thank you.

Bill,
Pardon me, but when Tom deLonghe gives his provenance, credentials and stops speculating about U.S./Alien invasions, I will consider giving you mine. With all due respect, my credentials and provenance will remain “confidential”. No I do not play guitar, I do not speculate in a manic induced manner, nor do I make sh*t data up. Believe Ton deLonghe all you want.
I regret to say that I now doubt why “the Donald” would give Jim Semivan et al the okay to move forward with disclosure, unless he is trying to “Make America Great ” again. And, pray tell, what are the Donald’s provenance and credentials to be the leader of the free world. It looks like a march toward “Project Bluebeam” to me.
Insider action, name dropping? How about a pseudo-president?

It was a reasonable request for some kind of substantiation that you “worked with Edgar Mitchell” for ten years, and your professed knowledge of all the machinations behind the Delonge phenomenon.
How you could infer from it that I’m a Delonge groupie or Trump supporter is seriously abnormal.
I thought I had figured out your identity, but I’m obviously VERY mistaken.
The person I had in mind would never be so irrational.
Now I recall some previous comments: UFOs are attracted to you, and watch out for Bluebeam.
There it is, then. A “5150.”
With respect and sympathy,
Cheers

My concern as well is based on the standard procedure within the military apparatus; Never volunteer anything. Only respond to what you are asked. So, why now and who is doing the asking? Should we be following the money? How was the 22 mil. allocated and what was the size of this secret operation? Will we see the final or even preliminary reports? What other cases did they investigate? The answers could either place us on a true course of revelation or provide the debunkers with more nails to fasten a coffin which refuses to stay shut. Let us all proceed with caution – whenever something is too good to be true…

The finding issue is a reasonable question. But, fer cryin’ out loud, we’re talking about the Pentagon…which can lose account of 3 trillion buckeroos. Seems to me the article makes clear Reid & Co. knew ways to bypass the usual channels… as do many others.

Thanks Billy! I will accept your moniker of “The Umbrella Man”. Like the reference to Neville Chamberlain’s umbrella, I seek to point out that appeasement to the Fourth Reich and Nazism, in general, will be a VERY BAD tact. In fact, it will invite the extraterrestrials to intervene on Earth in the event of an Earth extinction event brought to you by TPTB! Jim Semivan knows this, as does Ron Pandolfi and Kit Green. I hope with all my heart that Putoff and Co. can be trusted. Otherwise, beware of Project Bluebeam.

When I heard the report on this story this morning on NPR’s Morning Edition, it was handled in the same seriousness as many of the other leading stories of the day. No X-File theme playing in the background, no theremin, no tongue in cheek comments about the sources or other devices designed to discredit the source or subject.
The first thought that crossed my mind was that at the very least, Billie Cox was at least be smiling a little.

I get why commenters here are still jaded but if our fearless spokesperson/mouthpiece/soapbox tirader extraordinaire, Billy, sees a glint of light then that to me is a positive end to a krayzee annus horribilis. Frankly I haven’t felt this jazzed up since I first got into this subject (which, incidentally, coincided with my first ‘thrill on blueberry hill’ if you know what I mean). I’ve felt for a long time that developments, anecdotes, evidence and of course media coverage had all but ground to a halt outside the realm of fringe (read whackjob) ufo enthusiast websites. Still, cautious optimism is a probably a prudent stance to take but what the hell- you don’t see articles like that NYT one very often and that is in itself a hurdle cleared.
.
onward!

Do we know for sure it was a Special Access Program? The NY Times piece mentions a request to make it one, but was that granted?
Is Luis Elizondo a whistle-blower in the sense of releasing classified information, or has he been working within the rules?
There’s a standard process for declassifying information (MDR) which appears to have been implemented.

If the program was secret then how was information routed to it?
Interesting that it started in 2007, but the 2004 Nimitz video was in their possession. I wonder if they have a copy of the Aguadilla footage, or the 84th RADES version of the Stephenville radar data? Or even the missing Punta Borinquen radar data for Aguadilla?

To understand the events & dynamics culminating in the NYT revelation, it’s helpful to read two articles by Leslie Kean that appeared in October on Huffington Post. She sets the stage for the information revealed by the Times.
There might be a revolt happening somewhere in the echelons of black budget SAP’s dealing with “the phenomenon” by people who are fed up with all the secrecy, duplicity and disinformation.
…
All the hoopla generated by the story overshadows a significant event that occurred one week earlier. According to the National UFO Reporting Center, and MUFON, on Saturday night, Dec. 9th, numerous witnesses in multiple states from coast to coast observed clusters or fleets of mysterious glowing objects flying silently in various formations through the night sky. Some reported the formations stretched from horizon to horizon.
NUFORC and MUFON have so far received more than a hundred reports from Florida to California and are working together on some kind of chart.
You can read about it on the nuforc.org home page.
A local TV news program in Colorado contacted a nearby USAF base and were told by the PIO that what everyone saw was a flight of C-17 cargo planes (13 in all) flying from S.Carolina to Colorado for a training exercise. One phone call… good enough for the media.
But none of the witnesses reported seeing the required green wingtip markers, and a huge majority of the reports said the objects were completely silent.
Have you ever heard a Boeing C-17 Globemaster flying by? Even at cruise altitude it will vibrate your fillings.
Despite this NYT revelation…the BS continues. It seems to be ingrained.

@rocketsauce
Having lived for 67 years and understanding human nature and the means that the media controls news and feed propaganda (when expedient ), IMO that the “peeing” contest will now begin. I just hope that the main characters in this TTSA have been fully vetted because we all know that the SETI, MIT, and the Oberg enterprise are lurking in the background plotting strategy and sabotage to undermine these developments and will do all in their power to disrupt this endeavor. Remember we are talking about a threat to entrenched mainstream scientific principles, dogma, egos> (a biggy) < and a threat from potential funding that could conceivably put them on the spot where they are faced with 2 options:
1. Use their scientific process,knowledge and come on board to engage in new ways of thinking
2. Protect the fiefdom in an all out attack on the new ways of thinking. IOW Debunk.Debunk.Debunk
My guess is that option 2 will be employed and strategy may even be taking place right now.
The media still relies on SETI folks and others to "balance" news like this
I was frankly appalled that a number of the NYT comments were dismayed that the $22 million was appropriated for the 5 year (Bigelow) program when it could be used for more humane efforts. Collectively they don't understand that there could be a new way going forward to eliminate many societal and cultural problems
Keep in mind that this release and disclosure is just the beginning and soon the "honeymoon phase" will end. Remember that most of the commentators here remain on the fringe and that most of the news is still devoted to hits on Trump and on powerful figures being toppled down via sexual harassment, entirely through their own fault. Yet the internet hits continue to focus on this topic which tells me that (as Billy States ) now is the time for more government officials and aviators to come forward (similar to many of the F/M victims who feared damage to their careers) to give credence and respectability to what they saw or experienced w/o fear of ridicule, or repercussions to their careers.
Understanding that this news from TTSA is being released gradually tells me that they have consulted with a psychology/public relations group to maximize benefit in ROI for public consumption.
But….. as Billy states as one in the journalistic business: "we need more"to keep the flow going so this will not end like the PR, Stevensville TX and O'Hare incidents.

Not to be redundant, but this had been planned for a long time. Grant Cameron reported on it. Dan Smith had alluded to it. Of course, DeLonghe is working with the likes of Eizondo, Putoff, Mellon, etc. . They have the credentials and the pedigrees, as does Bob Bigelow and Harry Reid. Leslie Kean has been quietly working the story. DeLonghe said that something was coming soon… and…PLOP!

I hope that plop was not another t*rd. For instance, DeLonghe has said that he thinks that Roswell was about a secret German Program. Hmmm? Rewriting history are we Mr. DeLonghe? Mixing some truth with fiction? DeLonghe says in Sekret Machines, Vol 1, that “they had to give their take on the issue since Edgar Mitchell had been telling the Mellenials all about the UFO’s and ET’s.” I am even suspect of Col. John Alexander’s term, UAP. One day Steve Bassett warns us about a “bait and switch” re:UFO’s and now he has jumped on the bandwagon with UAP nomenclature. And in Sekret Machines, Vol 1, DeLonghe says that ET are on the Russian’s side (fictionally speaking, that is). The CIA could go far on these fumes!

I am sorry to rain on the parade, but I worked with Edgar Mitchell for well over a decade on the existence of UFO’s, thank you. And this smells like a whiff of stale air. Sure, UFO’s are real and they are extraterrestrial. Not even Paul Hellyer knows who they are or where they are from. Sorry, Paul, I consider you a dear friend. Nonetheless, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. With Edgar gone, his book on the existence of UFO’s will probably never be completed and published. Edgar’s book would have put into the public domain that which would stand up to the lies and deceit that have flown around the UFO community since the National Security Act of 1947.

It still looks like rain to me. I hope I am wrong Billy. Is a prelude to massive military allotments and Project Bluebeam. Richard (Dolan), what’s thou thinketh now?

@bob
Can you provide links on the Delong (h)(e) comments?
Can you provide more information on your collaboration with Edgar Mitchell and how this impacts mill(e)ennials?
Does Paul acknowledge and recognize that you are a dear friend?
What is Project BlueBeam??

I’m glad you made the comparison to the “unsustainable” USSR in 1986, because we ain’t seen nothin’ yet in that regard. As crazy as it has been, it is going to become far worse. (Unless you just happen to like batshit craziness for the pure entertainment value, like me).

As to your “glasnost” theory. No freaking way there will be anything close to true openness, brother. The more they pretend to be lifting up the kimono, the more there is that they are trying to hide. And what they are hiding is very dark. Maintaining control is everything to the Statists when they start to feel their grip slipping.

TD is turning out to be quite a clown (aka/ useful idiot). To me that is the dead giveaway that they’re up to nothing that even approaches goodness and light. Which makes me feel sorry for the Kean’s and Elizondo’s in this scenario. Though you would think Elizondo would know better. So IMO the jury is still out on him.

My two cents: DoD released information on thos program to lessen outrage at the fact that the first official audit of the Pentagon uncovered no less than $125 BILLION is lost, misplaced or otherwise unaccounted for, money in the budget. Then a friend pointed out its closer to $7 TRILLION. Compared to either of those numbers, $22 million is a drop in the proverbial bucket.
